Julia writes roman­tic come­dies that explore the beau­ti­ful mess of being a smart, com­pli­cat­ed woman in the mid­dle of every kind of rela­tion­ship-fam­i­ly, friend­ship, and falling in love. Juli­a’s debut nov­el, Avail­able to Chat (Book­trope), pub­lished under the pseu­do­nym Jacy Sut­ton, received enthu­si­as­tic media cov­er­age on top-rat­ed Minneapolis/​St. Paul out­lets, includ­ing dri­ve-time radio and the local NBC affil­i­ate. My novel­la Just One You won the Shore­line Indie Award, and my essays have appeared in The New York Times, Huff­Post, Your Tan­go, and PBS’s Next Avenue.Julia lives in Min­neapo­lis where she bal­ances writ­ing with real life: hang­ing out with her beau­ti­ful fam­i­ly, walk­ing her dog, and play­ing a mean game of mahj.
